Storage
Store the sealed lyophilized vial at -20 °C, protected from light. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated at 2–8 °C and use within the window defined by your protocol.
Handling
Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening. Reconstitute slowly against the glass wall with bacteriostatic or sterile water; do not shake. Record the lot code in your laboratory notes.
Certificate of analysis
Every lot ships with a matched certificate: HPLC chromatogram, mass spectrometry identity confirmation, water content and the independent laboratory that released it.
Questions about MT-2
- What is MT-2?
- MT-2 is a lyophilized peptide reference standard supplied at 10 mg per vial and released at 99.0% purity by reverse-phase HPLC. It is sold for in-vitro laboratory research only and is not a medicine.
- How is the purity of MT-2 tested?
- Purity is measured by reverse-phase HPLC and identity is confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometry against the expected molecular mass. The method, gradient and detection wavelength are named on the certificate.
- Is a certificate of analysis available for MT-2?
- Yes. Every lot ships with a matched certificate of analysis carrying the HPLC chromatogram, mass spectrometry identity confirmation and water content, searchable by the lot code printed on the vial.
- How should MT-2 be stored?
- Store the sealed lyophilized vial at -20 °C protected from light. After reconstitution, keep the solution at 2–8 °C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- How is MT-2 shipped?
- Cleared orders are packed cold-stable and handed to a tracked carrier within 24 hours on business days. Lyophilized material tolerates normal transit temperatures; refrigerate on arrival.
- Which solvent is used to reconstitute MT-2?
- Bacteriostatic or sterile water, added slowly down the inside wall of the vial. Our TPS-190 Reconstitution Solution (30 mL bacteriostatic water) is compatible with every vial in the catalog.
